Thanks man..
As the front tag on the car says MYNAGIN - This was my first car as a kid - dad bought it for me before I had a license. We worked on it night and day with a promise I would keep my grades up and stay out of trouble. Finished it in time for my DL test...and drove it to prom...etc in High School. Traded it off in 89 for a more reliable (85 Vette) with functional a/c...etc. to go to college. Lost my dad in 03 and went searhing for it as I have sweet memories of the two of us wrenching on it as a kid. Found it...talked the guy into selling it...and then rebuilt it. Everything was on the table EXCEPT the color - we painted it back exactly as it was as a kid - 1985/6 Renault Aliance Medium Metalic Mica Red with Caddy black cherry racing stripes.
Under the car - fully welded and smoothed stock sub frame - POR 15 with powder coated silver control arms - Edelbrock shocks, and shaved stock springs on VBandP sway bars.
C5 front brakes/LS1 01 SS camaro rear brakes
Steeroid Rack
04 GTO power brake booster
SLP stage III LS1 with 2,800 stall TCI and 4L60E trans
Ford 9" with 3.5 gears
vintage a/c
autometer gauges
1985 (from the 85 I traded - long story) seats 12 - way power covered to look like 69 Camaro
cruise
power win/locks/keyless
tilt/tele column from 81 Vette
fully shaved firewall
Intro PROWLER rims in custom color (silver titanium) and Nitto Neo tires
Ran a 12.5 at 111 on the Goodyear runflats I had on it with C5 wheels prior to the new Nitto and Intro wheels.
Believe it or not - other than the money for the wheels/tires - pretty much everything on this car was done on a shoe string budget.
The whole story is here.
